New Relic Instant Observability Scraper

Extract data from the New Relic Instant Observability (I/O) catalog — 785+ quickstarts, integrations, and dashboards for monitoring your infrastructure, applications, and services.

What does this scraper do?

This actor fetches metadata from New Relic's public quickstarts repository on GitHub. Each quickstart record includes its title, description, summary, authors, keywords, categories, dashboard count, alert policy count, documentation links, and icon URL — all without requiring any API key or authentication.

Input

Field	Type	Description
mode	select	Required. search (default) or getBySlug
query	string	Keyword to filter by (mode=search). Matches title, description, keywords, slug

level	select	Quickstart level: New Relic, Verified, Community
slugs	array	List of quickstart slugs to fetch (mode=getBySlug)
maxItems	integer	Max records to emit (1–10000, default 100)

FAQ

Does this require an API key? No. The New Relic quickstarts catalog is public on GitHub. No New Relic account or API key is needed.

How many quickstarts are available? As of May 2026, there are 785+ quickstarts covering AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, databases, APM agents, security tools, and more.

What's the difference between modes?

• search: scans all 785+ quickstarts and applies your keyword/category/level filters. Best for discovery.
• getBySlug: fetches exact quickstarts when you know their slugs. Best for targeted lookups.

What is a "quickstart slug"? The slug is the folder name in the GitHub repo. For example, docker, active-directory, amazon-bedrock. You can find slugs by browsing github.com/newrelic/newrelic-quickstarts/tree/main/quickstarts.

Why are some records missing fields like dashboardCount? Not all quickstarts include dashboards or alerts. Fields are only emitted when data is present (omit-empty policy).

Is this rate-limited? The actor uses the public GitHub API (unauthenticated, 60 requests/hour) for the slug list, then fetches raw YAML files directly from raw.githubusercontent.com with a 50ms delay between requests.
